Also, avocados oxidize very quickly, so once you cut them open you should work quickly to cook them to keep them from going bad. To do this, cut and peel it by opening it in half, taking out the pit and, using a spoon and separate the skin.
We should note that the 500 grams of avocado needs to be the weight after it's cut; this is important because you use half the weight of the fruit for the sugar in the avocado jam. Mix both ingredients with some lemon juice and put both ingredients in a saucepan.
Then, put the pan on the stove and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The idea is for the mixture not to be liquid but a homogeneous dough. It should have the consistency of any other jam.
Once this is done, turn off the heat and put the jam in glass, airtight containers to make sure it is well stored and can last longer than usual. As a guideline, we recommend you eat it within 2 weeks.
